The project involves the construction of a new multi-use pavilion and an accessible path for Keterson Park in Mitchell. These improvements were identified through the Keterson Park Master Plan which was prepared with input from user groups and adopted by West Perth Council in June of 2019. The full Keterson Park Master Plan can be accessed here.
Multi-Use Pavilion
A new multi-use pavilion will replace the existing pavilion and barns. The design is a 140ft by 80ft pavilion with a covered viewing area and sight lines to the playground as well as all four existing ball diamonds. The proposed pavilion will include a new kitchen and bar area, new washroom facilities, basketball nets, and storage space, as well as removable walls and drainage capabilities for use during the annual fall fair and other events. The new pavilion will be used for a variety of drop-in recreational activities, tournaments and miscellaneous special events.
Accessible Pathway
A new multi-use accessible stone dust path will be constructed around the ball diamonds and out to the parking lot.
Next Steps
The project will go back to tender and be approved by Council before breaking ground.
